On Sunday, a young fan named Kaileen wrote Swift on Tumblr, starting with the line "It's me, iced coffee girl, and I could really use a hug." In the note, Kaileen tells the 1989 singer that she lost her mother last year and that "a piece of my heart left with her," but it was Swift's music that helped her cope with her death.

"For a while, I felt empty. But as you've done many times before, you filled that hole. You took me out of my sad place and made me happy," she wrote. "And because of you, I got through something that was the hardest thing in the world for me. Today's going to be another hard day, but I know with you on my side I can get through anything."

Swift responded to the note with your own honest confession, "You've lived through my worst fear," writing, "I'm so sorry you can't spend today with her. It's not fair, and there's no reason why you should feel okay about it."

While Swift says "no one should ever expect you to feel normal today" she says she admires and respects her "ability to put forth such a sunny, sweet disposition when you've been through something so dark and tragic so recently."

Swift ends the note by "sending you a huge hug today. Gonna go get iced coffee and cheers to you." Swift recently revealed on her Tumblr that her mom was diagnosed with cancer, explaining that she was sharing the news so that her fans would be able to get their moms and dads to the doctor for a check-up. "Maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle," she wrote. "Or peace of mind in knowing that they're healthy and there's nothing to worry about."
